Wetter Mallorca editorial team · · 2 min read

A hot July is nothing unusual in Mallorca. July 2026 still stood out, because it did not allow a single day of relief. The figures use the daily records of the AEMET station Palma Puerto (B228) for all 31 days, downloaded from AEMET OpenData, and compare them with the same station's 2011 to 2025 mean.

No July day in Palma below 30 °C
On all 31 days the high reached at least 30 °C. In the 2011 to 2025 series that had happened at this station only once, in July 2022. Every night also stayed at or above 20 °C, the usual threshold for a tropical night. In July that is normal at this station: there were 31 tropical nights in July 2015 and in every July from 2018 to 2025. What was rare was the daytime heat, not the warm nights. The lowest reading of the whole month was 22.6 °C. The warmest night came on 20 July, with a low of 27.7 °C. Daytime temperatures ran 1.8 degrees above the mean and night-time temperatures 1.6 degrees.
Three July days in Palma above the highest value for their date
On three days the high beat the highest value the station had recorded for that date between 2011 and 2025:
- 10 July: 34.8 °C, previously 33.4 °C in 2022
- 22 July: 35.2 °C, previously 34.9 °C in 2019
- 25 July: 34.4 °C, previously 33.7 °C in 2019
A high for one date in a 15-year series is not an all-time station record.
Rainfall stayed within the usual range. Measurable rain fell on two days only: 1.4 mm on 26 July and 1.7 mm on 27 July, 3.1 mm in total.
